Cellulose flat bags made from renewable raw materials (98% bio-based carbon in the film) – film certified home compostable (OK compost HOME)
Our cellulose flat bags (without closure) are made of cellulose film, a film made of regenerated cellulose. The film is 23 µm thick, uncoated, highly transparent and glossy. It is made from a renewable raw material.
Material: cellophane film made from wood pulp
The cellulose film is produced from wood pulp. The bio-based carbon content is 98% (ASTM D6866). The main raw material is cellulose derived from wood rather than crude oil.
The film is certified industrially compostable (EN 13432) and home compostable (OK compost HOME). Disposal in Germany: in your own garden compost or via residual waste, not via the organic waste bin.
